James + 6 groomsmen · St. Ives, Cornwall · August 2025
James called us in February. The wedding was in August. His best man was a stockbroker in Singapore, his brother a farmer in rural Argentina, his father a retired surgeon in Cape Town. Two of his groomsmen were college friends in San Francisco and Brooklyn. He himself was a barrister in London.
The brief: "Holland & Sherry sherry tweed for me, the same cloth in a lighter weight for the seven of them. Three-piece for me, two-piece for the rest. All delivered the week before the wedding. My father needs his shipped to a hotel in Cornwall — he doesn't trust his postman."
We reserved an 18-meter bolt of sherry tweed in heritage brown. Eight suits cut between March 11 and March 14. Distributed measurement collected over three weeks via our partner tailors in five cities and self-measure for two members. Production ran in parallel across our four tailors. All eight suits finished in week six, shipped from Paris on August 4, arrived at each member's address August 6–8.
Total project cost: €18,400. Group discount applied: 15%. James's father paid for his own. Two groomsmen split-billed. James covered the rest.
